According to the manager, this Phuguri Darjeeling has been made from specially plucked AV2 clonal tea leaves having just one leaf and a bud. It is picked from the finest clonal growing section of the tea garden. A lot of labor has been put by the women tea pickers of Phuguri Tea Estate and thanks to them for making this tea possible. This Phuguri Silver Moon has an overall attractive bloom which are much larger in size than the normal classic graded Darjeeling Tea. It has elongated leaves, wiry silver tips with dark yellowish and chocolate brown color. There is abundance of silver tips, quite remarkably handled during processing – thus the tag “Silver Moon” has been added. The Silver brown color are mainly that of the silver buds and authentic second flush tea leaves. It has a rich smell which seemingly bears similarity to that of a complex mixture of chocolate, mint and fresh fruits. The nutty/almond like aroma is also worth mentioning here.

The infused leaves beautifully opens up and occupies quite a space on the inverted lid of the tea tasting cup. The infused leaf size depicts the original size of the tea leaf. This Darjeeling Phuguri tea has a lively brown/coppery overall infusion with the golden and silver tips/buds turning pale yellow in color. One leaf and a bud is quite visible. It has a sweet fragrance with slight hints of lemon. It also has a nutty character which comes coated with the complexity of different fruits.

This Phuguri Tea has quite a full bodied cup, turning dark reddish in color. Classic Darjeelings always bear that tiny size china styled leaves while opposed to it, this tea has a light and bright golden/red brew. The tea is brisk and an instant sweetness fills the mouth while sipping. It also lends a nutty character with some complex undertones of fruitiness, reminiscent of ripe apples and pineapple.

Also add our Phuguri Himalayan Gold from First Flush and know the difference in taste relating to the same tea, but different season – actually it differs a lot in appearance and taste.

This Phuguri Tea Darjeeling is one of the highest grade 2023 Darjeeling  produced this Second Flush season.
